It is a lasting memory of one of the most amazing weeks in the history of the Dr Martens club.

For the Brazilian under-17 squad used Racing's Hampton Road facilities as their training camp during the mini international tournament which also involved England, Italy and Czech Republic.

Racing manager Billy Hollywood said: "It was an almost unbelievable honour, who would have expected Brazilian internationals to be gracing Hampton Road?"

The Football Association approached Racing chairman Jim Wright to see if his club would be prepared to host the Brazilians who were based at Hampton Road.

Hollywood added: "The FA asked us to keep the sessions a secret but we took the opportunity to watch them and had a chat with a few of them. They told us that they enjoyed their time with us and the gave us the flag, autographed by members of the squad, as a memento.

"And they have promised to send us a shirt autographed by some of their World Cup-winning side when they return to Brazil."

Some of the Racing officials were guests at Oxford where Brazil drew 1-1 with England, the eventual winners of the tournament.

* RACING continue their build-up to the Dr Martens Western Division season when they host Stourbridge on Saturday. They won 5-1 at Leicestershire Senior League Highfield in their opener last Saturday.
